I went out to Mt Tom in Easthampton, Massachusetts to run some of the Metacomet-Monadnock (or New England Trail as it is now called I believe).  Completed a run from the road crossing at Route 141 to the intersection with the DOC Trail, which I explored along with the Tote Road Trail for a total out-and-back of 6.7-miles.

On this day in 1997, the Old Goat, the Gullivers, and a few others rambled out to Bash Bish Falls to participate in a marathon along the South Taconic Trail.  I managed 26-miles in 6:28:00, and I can recall the last few miles being in a driving rain.  This was my 16th marathon.
